I am Peter Scholes, Peter J., and I live
in Leeds, West Yorkshire and keep this website uploaded and up to date on
an irregular basis - my kids and I started this site on a rainy afternoon
a few years ago.

Please send us your feedback, or to be included in the

"The Origin of Scholes" is written by Peter H Scholes, a freelance editor of steel
industry publications, living in Guisborough in North Yorkshire. He has been
working for many years on tracing the origins of Scholes as well as the history
of his own family (from Hatfield near Doncaster).

Peter would be delighted to hear from any one with an interest in Scholes as a
surname or placename, and especially from genealogists with information about
early families in the UK and North America. Suggestions for new material would
be of great help so that we can improve and extend The Origins of Scholes
for the interests of the Scholes community world-wide. A complete bibliography
is available on request.
